Capello apologizes to Torres

Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has taken back his 'cheater' rap for Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres.

Capello believes Torres played up during a clash with Sergio Ramos, which saw the Real defender sent-off in Sunday's derby.
He said this morning: "I like to talk about sport, not to offend people, if I offended him, I ask him to excuse me.
"(But) one can see clearly Sergio Ramos did not intend to elbow him. I fought all the time in Italy against diving. Just like how players throw themselves to the ground clutching their face even if they haven't been touched. I hate to see people get an advantage like that."
